The Future of Virtual Health and Care–report
 
The report delivers a roadmap that describes which policies have enabled a rapid uptake of virtual health and care during the pandemic, to serve as recommendations to help governments and other stakeholders ensure that virtual health and care drives access and equity, rather than entrenching or exacerbating existing divides. Thee is also an analysis of virtual health and care policies in 23 countries. The Working Group is chaired by the Novartis Foundation and the World Health Organization.
76% of patients want virtual care visits to be a standard part of their care regimen
83% of health and care providers intend to continue using virtual delivery post the COVID-19 pandemic
 
The ISfTeH also contributed to the report as part of a panel of external experts. A downloadable full copy, executive summary, and more are available here.
 
There is also a video of Dr. Michele Griffith, ISfTeH President, addressing the 75th World Health Assembly (#WHA75) in May 2022.
